A continuous member of Lodge 508 in Detroit, Michigan, since his initiation in 1917. Shiplett’s active interest in Brotherhood affairs led to his election to the office of local chairman in 1931.

In the latter year he was elected general chairman and repeatedly succeeded himself in that office until his retirement, when he was awarded life membership in the BLF&E. In recognition of his abilities as a representative, the members of his lodge elected him a delegate to the St. Louis Convention in 1963. Shiplett was recognized as a soft-spoken but tenacious negotiator by the men whom he represented and the railroad officials with whom he bargained. An indication of the esteem in which he was held was demonstrated during the elaborate testimonial held in his behalf when he retired. Included in the large crown attending that party were numerous friends, officials of the railroad and the brotherhood, as well as countless fellow workers, all of whom applauded his attaining a well deserved retirement.
